The votes have spoken, and William Gibson's cyberpunk epic Neuromancer has edged out the competition (beating Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by a mere 3 votes!).From Amazon's review:
Here is the novel that started it all, launching the cyberpunk generation, and the first novel to win the holy trinity of science fiction: the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award and the Philip K. Dick Award [Ed. - Oh, the irony!]. With Neuromancer, William Gibson introduced the world to cyberspace--and science fiction has never been the same.
You can pick up the book in paperback form from the Sword and Laser Store (which helps to offset the costs of hosting), or at fine bookstores near you. Let's try to have the book by the the 1st of February so we can start the discussion!

I think I may buy mine on the Kindle and try to read it that way.
n00b. Voyager Expanded Book format in HyperCard FTW. if you can find it. ;)
One of the best cyberpunk books ever written.
Great choice, everyone! What a fantastic book.....
I'm jealous Tom, the Kindle looks cool. Expensive, but cool. Please post how your reading experience goes with it.
Nice, I'll be sure to pick this up and join in on my first book discussion with Sword and Laser. I am looking forward to it.
i got mine at mobipocket (an e-book that I downloaded to read via mobipocket reader which I love).
Pity the sword and laser store is with amazon.com, I'd buy trough it but alas being Canadian I prefer amazon's canadian store
Would also be interested how it goes on the Kindle. Looking forward to reading this - haven't read it before.
I think I'll listen to the audio book.
Isn't the kindle able to read mobipocket format? If so, that would be a great asset for me as I've already invested in many e-books via this format. Mobipocket is available for mobile handheld devices so it would be just another extension of that availability concept. Does anyone know if the Sony reader allows easy access to mobipocket format? I don't think that either one is good with Adobe reader formats...
bought on mine on the Sony Connect store, after listening to the podcast. Couldn't wait until the morning to get the paperback.
hehe i started reading it while chillin at B&N 1 night and loved the 1st chapter i read but i think i may wait and get it when i get a kindle feel kind of fitting doesn't it ?
[...] week. It’s just a quick rundown of some of the things that have happened in the latest book (Neuromancer) plus whatever other sci-fi/fantasy related stuff we’ve been checking out [...]
Stunning book... love Gibson and his settings.
I just began reading Neuromancer. Once again I'm a little late to start, but for a good reason. I was so enthralled with The Golden Compass, I continued on with the rest of the series. The significance here is that I haven't actually read a book *all the way through* since... well many years ago. I'm glad I was inspired enough to start reading again.
